The Puppeteer

€1.400,00

"Il Burattinaio" by Massimiliano Precisi is a work that intertwines satire, social criticism and a vibrant aesthetic in a dynamic composition on recycled canvas. The scene is dominated by a fragmented central figure, the "puppeteer", who seems to orchestrate the surrounding chaos with disturbing hands and an ambiguous smile. Around him, a group of anthropomorphic figures moves in a chaotic interweaving of colors and lines, suggesting a manipulated and unaware humanity.

The pictorial details, such as the disheveled face and the bright colors that mix in almost caricatural shapes, create a grotesque and fragmented narrative. The decorative elements, such as the small red cube in the background and the hands stretched upwards, seem to oscillate between political metaphor and psychological allegory, inviting the observer to reflect on the human condition.

The recycled canvas, with its irregularities, amplifies the feeling of authenticity and imperfection. Precisi signs here a work that shakes and provokes, a small visual manifesto of the relationship of power and dependence that hides under the masks of society.

Massimiliano Precisi

Art as revelation: rawness, truth, impact

Massimiliano Precisi, master of pictorial irreverence , is an Italian artist who has conquered not only national stages, but also prestigious international galleries, from the United Kingdom to the United Arab Emirates , up to Switzerland .

His work, ferocious and merciless , is a hymn to human hypocrisy , not to celebrate it but to unmask it, stripping it away with crude brushstrokes and sharp symbolism.

A visual language between masks and disintegrations

His universe is populated by masks , multifaceted faces and anatomical fragments , which tell stories of falsehood, illusions and moral breakdowns .
Precise, an alchemist of materials , he expertly mixes acrylics, oils, pencils and collages on all types of supports – from canvas to wood – transforming them into real emotional and social battlefields .

Artist's Manifesto

"Art is not what you see, but what you allow others to see."

This is his manifesto and his warning : looking at his works means confronting what we often prefer to ignore .
